The project is announced
California Forever had its “coming out” party in August of 2023, not long after a New York Times story detailing the people behind the project. The Times story, which was published in late August, noted that a number of big tech luminaries like Marc Andreessen, Reid Hoffman, and Steve Jobs’s widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, were some of the backers of Flannery Associates, the parent company behind the project. Days after the story came out, California Forever launched its website with a blog post about the project and the future of eastern Solano County. The blog stated that the county had “many challenges, but also possesses countless opportunities,” and that the “idea of building a new community and economic opportunity” could fuel a “remarkable” development.
